Chapter 20: Whose Bureau
A glint flashed in Gu Mingzhu's eyes, but he lowered his voice and said to Abi: "I know, according to what I told before, you don't have to make a noise, I have my own opinions." ”
Although Ah Bi was full of doubts, he didn't dare to disobey Gu Mingzhu's intentions, and softly agreed to retreat.
Gu Mingzhu's face did not move, he reached out and took the gold silk cake bait on the table, tore it little by little and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, watching the ladies and ladies talking, the queen of heaven was smiling Yan Yan was talking to several ladies, the prince and the virtuous king were eating and laughing, and the party was harmonious.
The return of the flower envoy made the hall even more lively, and the handsome and upright Zheng Yu strode into the Ziyun Tower, took out a budding peony from his sleeve, bowed down in front of the queen of heaven, and said loudly: "The ministers are fortunate not to be dishonored." ”
The queen of heaven looked at him, nodded appreciatively, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the talent is outstanding." ”
Zheng Yu, who was appreciated, was full of excitement, his face was flushed red, and he thanked him loudly: "Thank you for the praise of the queen of heaven." ”
Gu Mingzhu looked at it from a distance and smiled coldly, at this moment, Zheng Yu was proud, he was a new branch officer, and he was praised by the queen of heaven, how could he see that the future was bright.
But why did he go to King Xian's Mansion after the crown prince Li Hong was deposed, and he did such things to himself and shamelessly slandered her? She had no contact with Zheng Yu, and she didn't even know each other before that, was it to avenge the deposed prince Li Hong?
She felt that it was not that simple, maybe someone deliberately did this game, and let her die in disgrace.
But on the day she died, she didn't know who did it to her, this person hiding in the dark made her very uneasy, if she couldn't find this person as soon as possible, she was afraid that she would be poisoned again in this life, she had to be extra energetic and careful.
Tanhua made the flowers fold and returned, the Qujiang banquet officially opened, the palace maids brought a plate of delicacies to the banquet, the hot Jusheng slave, the fragrant golden soufflé, the delicious food, and the Jiannan burning spring that had just been opened, and the hall was full of the aroma of wine for a while.
The prince had already eaten several glasses of wine in a row, and some of the wine was on his head, and when the palace maid who was waiting behind him poured wine, he was holding his hand and laughing, so frightened that he knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes and didn't dare to move.
The queen of heaven was talking to the Duchess of Wei with a wine cup, and the wind swept over the prince's side, so cold that there was no trace of temperature, and the originally drunk prince shivered, let go of the hand holding the palace maid, and turned her face away uncomfortably, with a trace of fear in her expression.
King Xian stepped forward and said, "Brother Huang, I'm afraid you're drunk, so why don't I go down with you to rest." He looked at the prince with concern.
The prince nodded again and again: "Erlang help me down to rest for a while." "He is drunk, so he dares to be so presumptuous in front of his mother, and when he wakes up, he only feels cold sweat, where do he dare to stay here.
King Xian asked the palace maid to retreat with the prince in his arms, and he followed behind and walked out slowly, and many eyes in the flower hall also followed them until they left the hall.
Unlike the ladies who whispered to each other, Gu Mingzhu sat quietly on the couch alone, holding a white porcelain lotus pot in her hand, looking down at the shochu wine in the cup, but she had never eaten it, looking idle, as if she was appreciating the wine cup.
A palace maid stepped forward behind her and laughed softly: "Lady, if you are not used to eating spirits, and there are good dry and grape wines, why don't you change a glass for the lady?" "Very thoughtful.
Gu Mingzhu slowly raised his head to look at her, did not speak, just waited calmly.
Sure enough, when the palace maid leaned over to replace her wine cup, she whispered in her ear: "His Royal Highness King Xian invited the lady to meet in the West Pavilion, and I have something to say to the lady in private." ”
After that, he quickly took the replaced wine cup and retreated, and disappeared from the palace maids who served after the banquet.
It's here after all.
Gu Mingzhu raised his head, his face showed a look of joy, no more, no less, just right, it made people feel as if they had received something surprise and couldn't hide the joy of the idea.
She got up, got off the couch and walked out of the hall with some eagerness, Abi hurriedly followed, but she waved her hand, only let her follow from a distance, and did not allow her to come close, and hurried out of the hall.
The palace maid who was passing the word was waiting not far from the hall, and when she saw Gu Mingzhu coming out, her face burst with joy, and she beckoned from afar: "Lady Gu, please go this way, just go with the maid." ”
Gu Mingzhu looked at the smiling little maid, but she smiled coldly, walked up slowly, and looked at her expectantly: "You said that His Royal Highness King Xian invited me to speak?" ”
The palace maid smiled and nodded: "Exactly, His Royal Highness instructed the maid to pass the word, and wanted to invite the lady to come over to talk, and said that there are some things that are inconvenient to ask the lady in front of those many people." ”
Gu Mingzhu sighed in her heart, how stupid and ignorant she was at the beginning, she actually heard that it was King Xian who invited her, so she went with this palace maid regardless of it, just because she thought that she was outstanding, King Xian must be happy with her, so he wanted to see her in private, so he stepped into the calculations of others step by step.
She followed the palace maid as she could, asking mindless questions as she went, either asking His Royal Highness the Virtuous King what he said, or asking His Royal Highness the Virtuous King if he had anything to explain.
The palace maid smiled and dealt with it, but her eyes were full of contempt and disdain, sure enough, this Gu lady was so stupid that she had no scheming, but she was just a plain sentence, so stupid to follow her, and it was really His Royal Highness the Virtuous King who invited her to a private meeting.
Turning the corridor, there is no longer the main hall of Ziyun Tower, not far away is the West Pavilion, the palace maid's pace has accelerated, she is in a hurry to send Gu Mingzhu in, so as not to delay the time.
But Gu Mingzhu's steps slowed down, she took two steps slowly, then stopped, and looked at the palace maid who was leading the way in front for a long time.
The palace maid noticed that Gu Mingzhu didn't follow, so she couldn't help but be stunned, and squeezed out a smile to look back at Mingzhu's side: "Lady, I'm afraid I have to go faster, so as not to let people see it." ”
Gu Mingzhu didn't pay attention to her, just looked around.
Seeing that Gu Mingzhu still had no intention of moving, she was even more anxious, and hurriedly urged: "Lady, Your Highness is still waiting for you in the West Pavilion." ”
Gu Mingzhu turned his gaze back to look at her, his eyes were bright, and he approached the palace maid's side, and his voice was cold and fierce: "Shut up, bitch!" ”
